So Beautiful: Summer Beauty Essentials from The Body Shop for Mother’s Day

The Body Shop is a perennial fave destination for picking up pampering products for mom on Mother’s Day…but instead of going the bath and body care route, why not look into the brand’s awesome beauty products? I’m highlighting a few summer beauty essentials that’ll make mom look radiant!

Shade Adjusting Drops – $22 eachThis is such an ingenious idea I can’t believe I’ve never seen it again. If you’ve ever had a foundation that’s not *quite* your skin tone (especially as it darkens in the summer), this is the product for you. Add a drop to your foundation to either lighten or darken it a half-shade until you’ve got the perfect tone. Perfect for perfectionist moms!

Matte Lip Liquid – $15 eachMatte lipstick is having a major moment right now. It’s easy to apply for a rich, saturated look in a flash, and it generally stays all day, even when the heat is blazing in the summer. Coming in 12 shades, The Body Shop’s formulation promises not to dry out your lips while delivering trendy, stay-put colour.

Honey Bronze Drops of Sun Holiday Glow Creator – $22So you spend your days in an office but want to look like you’ve spent them resting by the beach? This washable instant bronzing formula is your new best friend. Apply directly to your body for a covetable glow, or mix it into your foundation or lotion for a more subtle effect. A must-have to avoid pasty leg syndrome!
